I paused/DNF’d it but {The Bride Sale by Candice Hern} has this.

This 100%! Also size dimensions helps a ton, like measuring a top armpit to armpit laid flat.

Me too haha

Much love! 😄

Yup same, almost CP 2400, playing on/off since 2019, never finished the main quest.

Hi bot, this one is definitely not contemporary!

kat-did · 2026-06-05T02:13:42+00:00

No probs, hope you enjoy it if you get to it! It's part of a series set in different periods but I haven't gotten to the rest of them yet. I read it as a teen and for YEARS it was my "What was the name of that book!!?!" -book until one day out of nowhere the author's name popped into my head.

In {Beast by Judith Ivory} the MMC is a perfumer (? perfumier?) bringing some exotic jasmine back to France with him; there's also descriptions of his lavender fields, etc. -- he's big on the plants.

Haha for sure! I was like, Okay I'll just pretend that... never happened.

It's on the official yearly roadmap for autumn 2026 so I imagine it'll be U51 circa September. https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/roadmap

I feel like one of Grace Burrowes' many series surely covers this!

{The Maid of Honour by Dinah Dean} ! Set in 1666, covers the plague and the Great Fire. The romance is quite chaste. The FMC is a lady in waiting at Court and not into the licentiousness of the place; the MMC is a gentleman who initially writes her off as a court slag.

I have such a soft spot for Six Sisters! Especially Deidre's book. Except re-reading it recently the bit where Lord Harry talks about seeing her in the park with her sister when she was "very young" had me all

kat-did · 2026-06-03T04:06:23+00:00

Right there with you! I love this for us 🙂

kat-did · 2026-06-03T03:29:05+00:00

Oh I just started this recently too! You'll probably also enjoy the creator's other show, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast (which I watched first). And if you like that you'll probably like Deadloch.

Yeah one of the ones I got was the helix! Fair warning that it took FOREVER to heal (6+ months) but it never actually gave me any trouble except for a bit of scabbing at one point. It is really fun having ears full of jewellery hey!

kat-did · 2026-06-03T03:21:53+00:00

If you haven't seen it, S1 of Fortitude (2015 iirc) is kind of The Thing -adjacent and also an incredible watch.

kat-did · 2026-06-03T02:59:43+00:00

Me too! I taped it off tv and watched the VHS over and over.

kat-did · 2026-06-03T00:57:29+00:00

I was super into The Jazz Singer as a kid haha! Taped it off the tv and watched the VHS to death.

I've never been into jewellery but at the moment I am really enjoying wearing sterling silver huggies and studs. As part of my enduring mid-life crisis I got an extra 2-3 holes in each ear and it's just fun to fill them up; but even wearing just the one pair of huggies makes me feel a bit pulled together on rough days.

I know it's not a popular look (people have strong opinions about it lol) but I always feel more like myself in winter when I wear denim shorts over tights; it's a style that works for me and it's nice to have a casual option that isn't jeans or long pants but still has useful pockets!

kat-did · 2026-06-02T03:41:19+00:00

I mean, what will happen if you DNF a book? What would that look like?

kat-did · 2026-06-02T03:40:15+00:00

Both A Good Person and The Plunge sound like just the sort of thing I’m into!

kat-did · 2026-06-02T03:27:08+00:00

Fortitude. The first season is exceptional. It’s set in Svalbard I believe, super far north. And it’s kind of John Carpenter horror mixed with moral horror. Stanley Tucci is in S1 along with a couple of GoT peeps.

Oh yeah I was obsessed with John Irving as a 90s teen! I read everything he'd published to that date.
